Police slam CodePink protester to the ground

Liberty And Justice For All ?

This is a 'peace officer' ?

De facto Fascism? Indeed...

Of course your opinion may vary.

Wow, then she was giving a statement to the press and they immediately just dragged her off. Wow, simply amazing.

flagged, things are really getting scary now

Starred & Flagged.

Now, we didn't see anything before the shove, but I find it hard to believe that something like that was a necessary application of force.

Flagged and starred. Scary indeed. No questions. We are losing control. Shut it down. Terrorist threat. Everyone go out and shop and it will be all better. Don't forget your duct tape and plastic sheeting.

On second thought: Everyone get and carry a camera. Maybe the cops are terrified because of what they are told from above? Film all of it.

Oh my god. Was she alright? Jesus that guy knocked her the eff out!

She wasn't even being threatening. She was blindsided, it looked like. Cops... just doing their jobs....

The problem with these video's is we do not know what happened just prior.

The girl who was knocked down, I have no opinion. She says do it again in a very threatening tone, so what happened just prior. Who knows. For all I know she kicked him, spit on him or something else.

That second one, I do have an opinion. That was just plain wrong!

Seems it wasn't enough to just beat this woman down...

It would also seem that talking to reporters is a crime?
She must be one of the 'homegrown'terrorists' dict...err President shrub is so afraid of?

Wow...the cops are just tough guys nowdays.

She did make a threatening statement. I could hear it clearly. But, what happened before the clip started. That is what we need to see.

Code Pink is not exactly a group of sane people and they have been known to be pretty violent and to disregard the law. It looked like they were attempting to obstruct traffic. We need more info.

To bad none of the protestors had guns. It looked to me that that one at least had the right to defend herself against an illegal action by a corrupt agent of the government. More people need to stand up and return the violence that is inflicted on them by these type of police actions. Peaceful protest is a joke. Violence is the only thing they understand. Peaceful protest is always met with violence by police agencies.

Given Code Pink's reputation and their documented tactics, including harassing Marine recruiters, the benefit of the doubt goes to the police and frankly, that's the most heartwarming video I've seen in a long time.

While I can agree with what you've pointed out here...

I'd like to point out another thing we did not see in this video.

Physical, threatening, resistance.

I am uninformed of code pinks political ideals, so call me ignorant...

I can however see right from wrong.

Finally someone who shares my ideologies. But only if it is warranted. We have no way to tell what this women did prior to the video and she is part of Code Pink.

Wasn't it Malcolm X who took a more hostile approach than MLK?

"BACK IT UP BITCH"

I would have gotten stomped out so hard if I was there.

But at least that Officer(overseer) would've had a broken nose.

Stay in line citizens.

Wow. Saw the end where they "escort" her. They obviously had no reason to (besides the real one). If she did something illegal they wouldn't have let her go, only to round her up again..

I'm feeling angry. They use our anger against us though. Whenever someone wants to start up the Rebel faction I'm down.

Even the storm troopers at Mos Eisley were not as bad as this. (not really laughing)

She did nothing wrong, was giving an interview and she got dragged away?

Thats the type of in your face facism last seen in China and North korea or Russia.

God Almighty, some thing has got to snap inside the USA soon, or your all going to be in camps before the warning bells go off.

Was this in Denver today? Did anyone get the cops badge number? Any results on if the woman has been released after being arrested for talking to the press (is that a crime?) ?

First they came for the Communists and I said nothing. Then they went for the jews, and I said nothing. then they came for the Gypsies, and I said nothing. Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Hope that soon you wake up to see that sooner rather than later you may be in that very position.

She told the cop "f***in' do it again". He did it again. It has been a long time since cops were, protectors and public servants. They have adapted the, us against them, attitude in places other than Chicago since 68.

Isn't freedom of speech great? Wait a minute, do you like freedom of speech? That's what this is about. Think it over.
